Staff are friendly and willing to advise on which beverage you may like. They also serve food in the dedicated restaurant although i have not sampled this yet.

Frodsham being a lager drinking town there is a good selection to suit all lager drinkers. A small wine and whisky selections. Not bad but well above average. Prices are average for a bar of this type and in this sort of location. They have a restaurant upstairs which i have never visited. Staff generally are nice although not particularly knowledgeable about all the beers they put on, This if forgiveable as the service is mostly great. The general seating in the bar could be more comfortable but is adequate. One of the better pubs in Frodsham and definatly worth a visit if your in town.

I resisted adding a review until we had been a couple of times but I as we have been three times now it is worthy of a ten minutes of my time to write something nice. The first time we went I took my mum and dad, who can be a little over critical sometimes and they both said it was the best meal they had had since they had been visiting us. They live down south and have been coming up for 15 years so that's quite a testimonial. They had ducks legs and I had devilled whitebait followed by marlin steak in a spicy bouillabaisse which was fantastic. I would definitely recommend the Travellers now and hope that it is successful as its wonderful to have such a great restaurant so close to home.

Fortunately, on a Monday night, there is a folk singers meeting, when anyone who can sing or play nything at all will be invited to contribute to the entertainment. This can be heartily recommended to anyone with the slghtest interest in music. The ales are another matter! In one side there are three guest ales, usually including Caledonian Deuchars IPA - I have spen months trying to work out what they do to this as I can't get it to taste as good! The other two guests are usually almost as palatable and always interesting. After a number of visits, I noticed so singers drinking different beers - this was when I found out that the guests on the other bar are often different! Sometimes a choice of six! Needless to say, this is a must-visit whenever we get the time to drive there (or get someone to drive us there, even better). I've never been during the day time, so don't know if they do food, but remember passing a kitchen when coming in from the small car park at the rear. The onlt reason for not giving five stars is that it's a bdy awkward pub to get to!

The best pub in Runcorn. It just is…read more I'm an ale drinker, so the quality of beer is my main criteria in pub choice, and the ales at The Prospect are spot on. Normally a choice of 5 or 6 ales (personally I'm rather partial to the Adnams Broadside which seems to be fairly regular). As said before, the choice of ales differs depending on which side of the bar you sit on, so make sure you check what's on the other side. Friendly staff. Really nice old-style pub, with an open fire in the winter. Food is simple, but done well and reasonably priced. Ranges from toasted sandwiches and pie and chips (Cowards pies for those in the area), to currys and more exotic stuff on the specials boards. Food service tends to stop a bit earlier than you'd expect (generally stopped by 1.30 pm at lunch, and 7.30 pm at dinner), so well worth ringing ahead if you intend to eat there.

I've never really rated Wetherspoon's before. Yes, they have cheap drink and the food is cheap, but…read morethe service usually isn't up to par.. All this changed at The Ferry Boat in Runcorn! A friend and I decided to go in and have a meal and a cheeky drink as we were passing through. So we get to the bar and there are special ales on offer, so we asked for tasters of the lot, the bar manager was happy to comply and give his own little view of each and every ale! Secondly when asking for the free drink with the meal, he offered me Foster's. He's not supposed to but as I already ordered it he said he'd "make an exception". Thirdly, the food was cooked to perfection, for a burger and chips. The bar manager came over and asked if everything's okay, talked to us, always had a smile on his face and even offered to bring our drinks over from the bar. I've never had service like that in a Wetherspoon's, and if I'm ever in the area again I will go there and recommend it to anyone.
